to this review here FutureQuest was once a great hosting company. Top notch tech support, awesome forum, unbeatable uptime, and more. FutureQuest was really an industry leader.
Today, FutureQuest is a stale, overpriced, underpowered, and unreliable hosting company (relative to their competitors). The forum, once a large selling feature, is mostly quiet and no longer a very helpful community resource. Competitors have continued to improve uptime and service, while lowering prices, but FutureQuest has not been able to keep pace. Part of the reason is that it is locked into its own proprietary systems that it has been unable or unwilling to invest in improving. Another problem with the proprietary system is that glitches have caused problems for several years that FutureQuest has been unable to track down. An announcement of a server restart is made on an almost daily basis, which is not good when you consider FutureQuest is not a massive hosting company.
FutureQuest's reseller program pales in comparison to what competitors offer and FutureQuest does not really have a good understanding of a modern reseller program. They do not offer their resellers tools to enable efficient account management and they have changed the terms so that the financial incentives are not very compelling either.

Michael Said,
The monitoring information on this site shows great uptime stats for fq? http://uptime.besthostratings.com/viewreport.php?host=futurequest
FQ posts their own stats as well and I've never received anything but stellar uptime (they guarantee their uptime, too). Most months are 100%. Not sure how you would do better than that??
The service at Futurequest remains consistently topnotch. Forgive me for saying so but you sound like someone with a personal ax to grind?
by the way, if you haven't heard, they're making some great changes and upgrading their server technology now

Of course if you're one of those that wants promises of unlimited everything (haha), you'll have to go elsewhere to find that. If your site isn't worth at least 9.95$ then it isn't worth anything IMO.
Good luck to you, sir
